DEFINITION

Classification: 134/6

(under the class definition) Processes, involving treating the work with a mechanically acting solid agent, either alone or in addition to the application of fluids, as, for example, use of solid absorbents, brushing, wiping, scraping, use of a squeegee, cutting, etc.

(1) Note. Solid Materials in solution, solid materials as part of a paste-like composition, and solid materials in the melted state, when used for treatment have been treated as fluids.

(2) Note. The feeding, causing motion or distorting of the work, the solid agent performing no other function on the

work, is not in this or the indented subclasses, but in other appropriate subclasses below, see particularly subclasses 14, 15, 16, 23, and 32+.

(3) Note. Manufacturing processes which remove an integral portion of the work by cutting, etc., rather than extraneous or foreign material, are not in this class.

(4) Note. For the distribution of art in treating of paper, textiles, fibers, hides, skins, feathers, and animal tissues, see note (1) to the main class definition.

SEE OR SEARCH CLASS

15, Brushing, Scrubbing, and General Cleaning, for apparatus for brushing, beating, scraping, shaking, wiping, shotting, or for using a squeegee, with or without the use of liquids. Class 134 is the generic class for the cleaning and liquid contact processes performed by the apparatus of Class 15.

29, Metal Working,

76.1+, for metal filling processes and apparatus, subclasses 81.01+ for processes and apparatus for scale removing operating by scraping, flexing, etc., 90.01+ for processes and apparatus for compacting, condensing, smoothing, or polishing the surface of either metallic or nonmetallic articles.

30, Cutlery, for hand manipulable cutting implements capable of use in cleaning processes. This class has extensive notes on manufacturing apparatus involving a cutting operation (including boring, drilling, chiseling, filing, planing, shaving, etc.).

72, Metal Deforming,

40, for a process of or apparatus for mechanically cleaning metal work in connection with plastically shaping the work, e.g., rolling it.

118, Coating Apparatus,

100+, and 200+ for coating apparatus having a solid member for modifying the coating on the work or applying a coating to the work.

119, Animal Husbandry,

600+, for a device for animal grooming. 125, Stone Working,

26, for cleaning brick and subclasses 27+ for millstone cleaning by solid work treating agents. Class 134 has cleaning of these materials by detergent action.

168, Farriery,

48.1+, for hoof cleaners.

228, Metal Fusion Bonding,

19+, for apparatus for and subclass 125 for method of bonding and removing excess flux or solder from a bonded joint; subclasses 201+ and 205+ for bonding combined with cleaning.

401, Coating Implements With Material Supply, appropriate subclasses (

49+, however, being inappropriate), for a hand-manipulable coating implement including either a self-contained supply of fluent coating material or means for attachment to an external source of fluent material; subclasses 196+ and 261+ being the residual loci's for such implements having a padlike or blade-like tool, and subclasses 268+ for such implements wherein the tool is of the brush, broom or mop type.

427, Coating Processes,

355+, for coating combined with treating the coating by contacting it with a solid treating member.

433, Dentistry, 80+, for dentists' teeth cleaning apparatus which include a dispensing outlet; and, subclass 216, for teeth cleaning methods.

451, Abrading, for a process of or apparatus for cleaning (with or without the use of detergent or other liquid) involving use of an abradant.
